<p>[QUOTE="wlwhittier, post: 9827290, member: 76316"]This is another one of those forgot-I-had-it items. 4 3/8" across the hex, 5 1/4" counting the grip, which is applied. The hole in the grip is just big enough for my pinkie; ~1/2" diameter. It's 1 5/8" high at the rim; weight is ~8 1/2 ounces. It's not UV reactive. The word PRES is above CUT in tiny raised letters, dead-centered on the star in the <i>interior </i>bottom, impossible for me to adequately photograph. The glass is silky-smooth, inside & out, without any mold-seams; the only 'cut' area is the hex surrounding the star on the bottom, an' that seems hand-done, as the dish wobbles slightly on a flat surface. None of the silver is lifted, nor polished away; I'll make it shine before I list it on eBay.</p><p>Can any of you say what the purpose is for this type of vessel? Is there a name for the pattern?
